Description

No job is more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating than those of the Firefighters, Rescue Squad and Paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. These are the courageous men and women who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way. But the enormous responsibilities of the job also take a personal toll. With big reputations and hefty egos, the pressure to perform and make split-second decisions is bound to put squad members at odds. When a tragedy claims one of their own, there's plenty of guilt and blame to go around. When it's "go-time" though, they put their differences aside and everything on the line for each other. From renowned Emmy-winning producer Dick Wolf.

Great Show I want to say to everyone complaining about the way the firefighters are portrayed on the show. First of they actually do have a real Chicago Firefighter that works with the actors to make sure the show looks very authentic. I have done some extra work on the show already. It is nice that they are doing this amazing show Dick Wolf is amazing. First with the Law & Order shows and now this. Thank you NBC for actually filming the show in my city of Chicago. Hope that it stays on for years.

Firefighters, romance, drama, and real-life scenarios put into a climactic drama....Dick Wolf's usual formula. I know there are people upset over the dramatic portrayal of firefighters' duties with this show; but it wasn't meant to be a docudrama or a reality show: there's no historical or educational outcome from it and there's no contestants or prize; it's a television series. That said, Wolf implements his typical headlines approach, dramatizes it, sputs in personal lives of the characters, intercommingles interoffice romance, adds a dash of suspense, and builds up for an intense climactic scene. Drama done well.

Great Show! I really found this show exciting and entertaining. I did notice a lot of firefighters hating on the show. Look, it's not a documentary portraying what real firefighters do, it's for entertainment. I'm in the military and have served two combat tours, but you don't hear me complaining that every war movie isn't how it actually is. I respect firefighters, law enforcement, military, but get over yourself and enjoy the show for it's intended purpose.

Awesome! Great show loved it! Finally something other than all this reality crap! For the negative comments....come on it's a TV show not a reality show where someone films the actual lives of fire fighter/paramedics. Having worked EMS 20 plus years it would be a pretty boring show waiting on the as we call them "good calls". Perhaps alittle investigative work is needed so things are as they really would be like transporting a child from a MVA without a cervical collar and spine board....just saying. Great show though!

Amazing I love this show!!!! This is my new fav show. My fav parts are dawson and casey romance. I love thier love story. I just don't like some of the story love lines about the gangs. Those ones are usually boring. Overall, I looooooooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeee this show!!!!

Awesome! Great show loved it! Finally something other than all this reality crap! For the negative comments....come on it's a TV show not a reality show where someone films the actual lives of fire fighter/paramedics. Having worked EMS 20 plus years it would be a pretty boring show waiting on the as we call them "good calls". Perhaps alittle investigative work is needed so things are as they really would be like transporting a child from a MVA without a cervical collar and spine board....just saying. Great show though!

Wonderful show!!!! Wow....I have loved this show from the jump. It's so captivating....the characters are compelling, the storylines are deep and thought provoking, and Chicago is the best supporting character on television. This is a fantastic show to watch with Chicago PD and I love the characters so much. Gabby Dawson on Chicago Fire and her brother Antonio on Chicago PD are definitely my favorite. Gabby is so hot....and so is Lindsay on Chicago PD. Great work, Dick Wolf!! Looooove CPD and CFD!!

Love the setting. . .Chicago The show is entertaining. It has a good story line and keeps you coming back for more. So glad that Chicago Fire is a made for TV drama. I am so sick of reality shows and people making themselves out to be really stupid or else complete sex addicts trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. So glad there are writers and good actors still willing to make a great series and put it on TV. Thanks to all.

where's the female firefighters? As a member of the fire service, particularly a volunteer department that doesn't always "play nice" or by the book/rules, I see this show for what it is, a television show meant to entertain. Granted yea it doesn't portray the fire service to a perfect T. But who wants to watch us sitting around watching TV or washing the apparatus, testing saws, doing a maintence night? No one. So of course a producer is going to spice things up, maybe twist things a little, but it's a fictional TV show, not a documentary. But I do have one request/comment: As a female firefighter, why can't the show include a female firefighter? Sure you have Shae and Dawson as medics, but there's so many females a part of the fire service both career and volly. overall, great SHOW.

Love this show!! This is one of the best show on TV right now. A lot of fireman and paramedics hate on this show because its not real enough, but its not supposed to be real. Its about the relationship/friendships.

Real Firefighter Take it from a real firefighter, this is the best thing we have as far as a tv show. For the ones that are complaining, you can't tell me Rescue Me was better than this. That's ridiculous if you do. Plain and simple.

Chicago fire I just in love with this tv show. But in season three I am upset that they killed off shay. I did not agree with them doing that. And mills can't be on squad 3 just blow me up. But other than those to I love the show

Chicago joke After being a firefighter paramedic for 20 years... this show is a joke. It compares to rescue me, which I actually liked better. Its all about drama. And unless you have actually worked in a station for 24 hour shift this is just another soap opera... I watched the first season and laughed at the show. Ive been to a few Chicago Fire houses and those that would talk about it say its an embarrassment to the department as well as the fire service! Most of the comments I doubt are from firemen.. but buffs

Great show! When I first started watching this show, I wasn't so sure about it. But as I watched more episodes, I found myself getting really attached to all of the members of the cast. Now this is probably one of my favorite shows on TV! The characters are great. And the episodes are exciting. I highly recommend it! I look forward to seeing the next episode every week!

Sweet mix of intensity from the most memorable emergency calls that could be faced in an entire career to the interpersonal dramas that develop from living together on 24 hour tours of duty with other firefighters, paramedics, and rescue technicians. Leslie Shay is my favorite character and I love seeing her close friendship with Kelly Severide. But I don't want to see it ruined by so many 'fan' request to turn her into someone she is not just so they can become more than just friends. By the way, I'm a recently retired firefighter and while there is obviously the Hollywood element in any TV show, all those types of emergency calls are real and firehouse interpersonal drama is real too.

Great start for a new show. Real Firefighters: Thank u for the great job u all do. Yes, we know its fake. It is a show, not a documentary. For those of us that are older, it reminds me a bit about Emergency! back in the 70's, however it's nicely updated and not as corny. There are lighter moments with a bit of comedy, but then in a flash it becomes dramatic and tense. I really enjoyed the movie "Backdraft" and this is quite a bit similar. I hope it's able to survive and not get cancelled.

Chicago fire! This sexy show has plenty of fire and passion and a lot of sexy firemen and women to help either fan or fuel the flames. All the while trying to figure how to put them out through love, compassion and comraderie! Hats off to these brave heroes as they fight to save themselves as well as others! Loving this show so far!

Best show on tv right now I looked through some of the comments posted here and people are mad that the show doesn't portray firefighters to a T but if it did it would be boring and it would just be a documentary....but any way I love the show and I think it is my all time favorite...hope it last!!!!!

Pilot - hope it gets better I'll give this a chance because it's only the pilot. Take every* cliche' about firefighters from the last century, mix in in-house tension after a death, show a shot of the El and cram 3 episodes worth of drama into 45 minutes and voila'! you have this pilot. I'm surprised they didn't call the captain, "Cappy." *Okay, I didn't see a dalmation... yet...

Fun Show Of course its not real firehouse, firemen, paramedics etc. Neither was/is ER, Grey's, Good Wife etc etc. Its Entertainment! Ok to not like it, but comparing to real life is a joke! Not a documentary. It's fun, little corny at times but enjoyable

Retired Firefighter I just love this show being retired firefighters my self I would lice to ride with Chicago F.P.D. I CAN'T WAIT TILL IT STARTS BACK THIS FALL FOR A NEW SEASON FOR 2014 I hope you all like it as much as I do Ps thank you for making it such a great show

Love it!!!!!!!!!! The last couple seasons of Chicago Fire has been has its ups and downs is tragedies and its losses but it keeps you with a close connection of the cast and crew to put the show together a show you what it is like in the actual fire department and paramedic situation

Watch this show from the begining. OMG!This show is the best.Love it but season2 episode 10 is so sad it made me cry cause casy is my babe, he is special to every one and then its Severride but be sure to watch the show from season1 episode1 to season2 episode1 always watch it in order.

I love this show This show by far is the very best TV show in the world. I love watching it every week its exciting funny and its intense and that's an amazing show to watch when u need something to do. I love all the actors and actress. The directors did an amazing job.

Ok... but not worth $2 per episode Since all shows are $2 no matter how good or bad, I'll rate with comments on the $2 worthiness. I'd watch more of this show on TV but I would not actively pay per episode. Liked the insight into the world of firefighters but the show lacked any special conflict that would pull me in to want to watch more. The guys are hot however.

Love this show I grew up in a fire family. I love the fire department and i love this show i have done volunteer firefighting and I'm trying to get into school for career firefighting. I love the field.
